Charles E Sears's Lawyer Endorsements

Divorce and separation lawyer | Jun 05

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Charles Sears is bar-none one of the best divorce attorneys in the area. I can best describe him as being very professional and a strong advocate for his clientele. We were opposing attorneys on a case, but despite our different opinions on a few matters, I thought he was well researched and very prepared for Court, each and every time. The Judge seemed to perk up every time he said something and that tells me the judiciary holds him in high regards. His demeanor was aggressive but not offensively so, and willing to compromise when it made the most sense to his clientele. I would highly recommend Charles to anyone needing a strong advocate in the Courtroom."
